Listen if just one asshole can get hundreds of books removed from schools and fuck things up for children all over the country, then millions of Americans all out on the streets at the same time certainly can make a hell of a difference

Congress and the judiciary are castrated. We the people must act to save our liberty. In this world of abundance, we should not be starving. We must have a say in what our future holds. We must use our remaining agency to disrupt the systems of power and oppression.
That guy exploited the system to cause maximum non violent disruption. He set out to actually break something and then he broke it. He did not walk s couple of blocks and go home. Understanding the difference in goals and methods is important.
Show up at School Committee meetings and yell a lot. Squeaky wheels really irritate and motivate them to find ways to get you to go away even if it means doing what you want. The douche bags figured this out. We can hoist them with their own petard.
honestly this has been a LOT to do with why they've gotten as far as they have, the assholes: these are the people whose entire personalities are oppositional defiance and righteous aggro. Most people don't want anything to do with them or their agenda, but most people just get exhausted by them.
later, the GOP. they're like termites. find an existing institution, push in, hollow it out, take over, repeat.
the problem the left (loosely defined) has is often too pure to try to do the same, misquoting the old "master's tools" thing or whatnot. try starting from scratch: that shit's hard.
Time consuming, disruptive and often requires years (and tenacity) to achieve anything. This where a strong sense of victimhood real or imagined is so useful.
It is no longer constitutionally possible to do both.
Do you choose American Democracy, or the forever rule of a dictator hell bent on entrenching an oligarchy for the rich and rich alone, and the destruction of freedoms your forefathers died defending?
Yes, if everyone actually shuts things down during the week (not just the weekend) AND engages in mutual aid to help everyone protesting
But I’m of the mind set that we can also end this all by Juan Guiadoing in everyone - make everyone a Supreme Court judge w/ the healthcare and salary - UBI & UH
People need to remember that government requires the consent of the people being governed, and political power is just an idea in people's heads.
When enough of us refuse to accept that Trump has power, that power ceases to exist.
The fact that MSM was obviously AFRAID to cover the protests like they should have, tells you MSM is run by REPUBLICAN (or right wing leaning) OLIGARCHS. We can’t trust them with only a few exceptions. It’s a freaking MYTH that the MEDIA has LIBERAL BIAS!
There's some confusion regarding which asshole I'm talking about here so I want to clarify that I mean people like this, not the wretched political parasites who have already embedded themselves in our power structure for their own gain
Yes, because peaceful protesting "works". You know what worked to get killer cops prosecuted? Targeted actions against property. Fire and destruction. Ruling class only cares about things, not people.
These "mass movements" of peaceful protesters are less than useless. You get to pretend you've done something, the pressure for change goes down, the horrors like genocide of Palestine continue. They will ignore you easily.

if there aren't enough people to hold the floor then do it in relays I guess.
seriously I remember learning this is how the right wing assholes co-opted the evangelical churches back when

Millions of people, including me, marched against the Iraq War in 2003. They still invaded.
#democracyisdying but we WILL bring it back!
My favorite sign:

Once they have power in office, it’s too late.
